Quercitrin is a glycoside formed from the flavonoid quercetin and the deoxy sugar rhamnose.

Austrian chemist Heinrich Hlasiwetz (1825-1875) is remembered for his chemical analysis of quercitrin.

It has also been investigated as a potential dietary supplement.^[1]

Occurrence

Quercitrin is a constituent of the dye quercitron. It can be found in Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum)^[2] and in oaks species like the North American white oak (Quercus alba) and English oak (Quercus robur).^[3] It is also found in Nymphaea odorata or Taxillus kaempferi.^[4]

The enzyme quercitrinase catalyzes the chemical reaction between quercitrin and H₂O to yield L-rhamnose and quercetin.
